Fast & Furious 9 is finally rolling onto screens this year after multiple delays, debuting the latest adventure in the hit franchise that’s been bringing the thrills since 2001. F9, which sees the return of stars like Vin Diesel and Michelle Rodriguez, comes from director Justin Lin, who brought us four previous Fast & Furious films.
In the latest Fast & Furious film, which marks the penultimate installment in the franchise, Dom (Vin Diesel) and his family are up against his younger brother, Jakob (John Cena), who has teamed up with Cipher (Charlize Theron) to take Dom down.
Curious when F9 premieres? Wondering how to watch F9? Here’s everything you need to know about watching Fast & Furious 9.
While theaters are hoping audiences will want to see the action on the big screen, some viewers may want to know how to watch F9 at home. After all, this past year has made it much easier for movie lovers to legally stream movies at home. Here’s what we know about where to watch Fast and Furious 9.
WHERE TO WATCH F9:
Fast and Furious 9 will open in movie theaters in the U.S. on June 25, aka tomorrow. You can buy tickets for a showing near you here. For now, a movie theater is the only place to watch Fast and Furious 9.
CAN I WATCH FAST AND FURIOUS 9 ON STREAMING?
Not right now. You will not be able to watch F9 on streaming when F9 opens in theaters on June 25. However, you may not have to wait very long before F9 becomes available to rent on digital. Read on to learn more.
WHEN WILL FAST AND FURIOUS 9 BE ON STREAMING?
It depends on how well F9 does in theaters. Universal has a deal that allows the studio to release its films on premium video-on-demand—meaning you would be able to rent the movie for $20—after 17 days in theaters. If the movie hits the $50 million mark, it will be released on PVOD after 31 days.
Therefore, if F9 makes less than $50 million on its opening weekend, then you may be able to rent Fast and Furious 9 on digital platforms as soon as mid-July, around July 12. If the movie hits the $50 million mark this weekend, you will be able to rent it at the end of July.
Either way, the longest you will have to wait to rent F9 for $19.99 is a month. In the meantime, you can always buy or rent The Fate of The Furious while you wait.
WHEN DOES FAST AND FURIOUS 9 PREMIERE?
In about a month, Fast & Furious 9 will zoom into theaters. After being pushed multiple times, F9 is set set to premiere on Friday, June 25.
WILL FAST AND FURIOUS 9 BE ON HBO MAX?
Right now, there are no plans to put Fast and Furious 9 on HBO Max. While multiple Warner Bros. releases have made their way onto the streaming platform this year, F9 is a Universal release, which means it doesn’t fall under the Warner Bros. simultaneous HBO Max and theater release schedule.

FAST AND FURIOUS 9 CAST: WHO STARS IN THE NEW FAST AND FURIOUS MOVIE?
The latest Fast & Furious movie stars Vin Diesel as Dominic Toretto, Michelle Rodriguez as Letty Ortiz, Tyrese Gibson as Roman Pearce, Ludacris as Tej Parker, John Cena as Jakob Toretto, Jordana Brewster as Mia Toretto, Nathalie Emmanuel as Ramsey, Sung Kang as Han Lue, Helen Mirren as Magdalene “Queenie” Shaw, Kurt Russell as Mr. Nobody, and Charlize Theron as Cipher.
WHERE TO WATCH FAST AND FURIOUS 9:
The current release plan for Fast and Furious 9 means it will hit theaters first, but that doesn’t mean it won’t be available to stream at home — you’ll just have to wait a little while. Because F9 is from Universal, it’s possible that it could become available to rent on premium VOD as soon as 17 days after it hits theaters. Under Universal’s deal with cinema chains like AMC, the theatrical window is shortened to just 17 days, meaning Universal films are available to rent digitally for $19.99 just two and a half weeks after they premiere.
Still, sources told Decider last month that Universal will let F9 Online will likely remain in theaters longer than 17 days, since the window agreed upon by Universal and AMC is flexible. Stay tuned for an official digital release date for the latest Fast & Furious film.
No. F9 is a Universal film, not a Warner Bros. film. While HBO Max is the streaming home for Warner Bros. blockbusters like Godzilla Vs. Kong and In the Heights, it will not be the streaming home for Fast and Furious 9—and at least, not for a while.
It is possible that F9 will be on HBO Max someday—after F9 releases on DVD— if the deal to send Universal movies to HBO Max gets renewed. After that, F9 should be available on Peacock, the NBC Universal streaming service. But we’ll just have to wait and see.
IS F9 ON NETFLIX?
No, sorry. F9 is not on Netflix, and it most likely will not be on Netflix any time soon. Universal has made deals with Netflix in the past, but right now the only part of the franchise streaming on Netflix is Fast & Furious Spy Racers, a Netflix original animated series for kids. The people making deals reportedly remain open to making a deal with Netflix for Universal films, but nothing has been decided yet. If you don’t want to miss out on the action, your best bet to see F9 as soon as possible is in a movie theater.
